Our Story

Working with and on behalf of girls for 160 years has given us unparalleled knowledge and expertise. 

The Girls Inc. Experience changes the trajectory of girls’ lives and prepares them for lifelong success.

Since 2007, Girls Inc. of Southeast Wisconsin has been dedicated to improving the lives of underserved girls ages 6 to 18 in the region. Through gender-responsive academic enrichment and lifestyle development programs, we inspire girls to be strong, smart, and bold.

Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Jeanette Brown, Girls Inc. of SE Wisconsin provides a research-based curriculum that reaches hundreds of girls each year. Our team of trained professionals delivers the Girls Inc. Experience, a comprehensive program that empowers girls to excel academically, lead healthy and active lives, manage money, navigate complex media messages, and develop a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Every day, we work to ensure that girls in Southeast Wisconsin have the tools, opportunities, and support they need to thrive.
